    摘要: A rasterizer for generating pixel values for a pattern generation apparatus. The pixel values drive the printing mechanism of the pattern generation apparatus. The rasterizer receives a file defining the pattern to be printed, fractures the pattern into sub frames, rasterizes each sub frame and then coordinates the provision of the shaded pixel values to the pattern generation apparatus. The rasterizer of the present invention is comprised primarily of a host processing means for fracturing and translating the file into one or more sub frames of pixels; geometry engines for rasterizing each sub frame; beam boards for providing the pixel shading values to a pattern generation system; a serial bus for coupling the host processor means to the geometry engines and beam boards and a pixel bus for coupling each of the geometry engines to each of the beam boards.

    摘要: A probe for a logic analyzer includes a replacement plug assembly comprising those portions of probe equipment which must be specifically adapted to accommodate a selected microprocessor, and a buffer probe assembly comprising those portions of probe equipment which are adapted for use with a wide variety of microprocessors. The replacement plug assembly and the buffer probe assembly are mechanically joined and electrically coupled by a square pin connector so that the replacement plug assembly may be removed from the probe and replaced with a differently configured replacement plug assembly when a different microprocessor is to be probed. Thus only a portion of the probe is changed to retarget the probe for different microprocessors. Each replacement plug assembly cross-connects data, address, and control lines of the associated microprocessor to the same corresponding groups of data, address, and control signal input channels of the buffer probe assembly as every other replacement plug assembly so that the data, address, and control information is transmitted to the data acquisition system through the buffer probe assembly over the same input line groups regardless of the microprocessor under test. This enables programmable data acquisition circuits of the logic analyzer to accommodate microprocessors having differing pin arrangements without a change in data acquisition circuit hardware or wiring.

    摘要: A variable tracking word recognizer generates an indicating signal when a microprocessor has accessed a memory stack location storing a dynamically addressed variable, the address of the variable being the sum of a dynamically assigned base address of the memory stack and a known address offset where the variable is stored on the stack in relation to the base address. The variable tracking word recognizer stores the dynamically assigned base address, when determined by a space allocation subroutine of a program running on the microprocessor, and then monitors the addresses subsequently appearing on the microprocessor address bus, generating the indicating signal when the current address matches the combination of stored base address and known address offset. The variable tracking word recognizer comprises circuitry to generate a storage control signal when the base address appears on the data bus of the microprocessor, a base register for storing the base address on occurrence of the storage control signal, an arithmetic logic unit for determining the difference between the number stored in the base register and each address appearing on the microprocessor address bus, and a conventional word recognizer to generate the indicating signal when the difference so generated equals the known offset.
